While by this time last year we'd already seen mega-hits like Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4, each selling millions of copies, this year we've seen...well, not much. Only one game on either platform - Resident Evil 5 on 360 - has sold over a million units in the US. One! So sad.

Looking at these charts, collated from NPD data and published by Gamasutra, we'd say both Microsoft and Sony owe Capcom a big "thank you" for stopping sales from looking even worse.
